A new addition



Gabe and Becca just welcomed their third child into the world late Saturday night. Although the labor was painful it was quick and they have a beutiful baby boy now. Benjamin Jacob Black takes on a big name (his dad, great grandpa and other relatives all share the name Benjamin while Jacob is also known in the Bible as Isreal). For more pictures of the little one and his family check out the Blackfam.net website. I know I can't get enough pictures of this cute little guy.

Happy Birthday Dad!
Love,

pumpkin carving




A week ago we decided to carve a pumpkin for family night. I think what Teancum enjoyed most was getting inside the pumpkin. Check it out.

Hey Family and Friends,

So we just spent the weekend in beautiful San Antonio. We signed up for a Time Share presentation and Wyndam Hotels put us up in a Holiday inn for free. We attended the two hour presentation and declined the offer (maybe next year), recieved a mail in rebates for a future stay in a Wyndam Hotel upto $100 and $25 for gas, and had a great time doing fun activities all around the city.

Ryan and I took turns attending the temple there, it was very uplifting and the prettiest temple I've been in. We forgot to take pictures of it though...bummer I would have loved a new family picture in front of the temple. Teancum recognized the angel moroni as we drove up to it and got excited about seeing a temple too. I love that kid.

After all the temple excitement we went to the San Antonio zoo. Teancum of course loved the animals and they had a cool kiddie area where he could swim and we could rest for a little while (it came complete with pool toys). There was also a petting zoo with lots of goats, you could feed them for a quarter and there were brushes to groom them. The goats were so anxious to be fed that all you had to do was walk over to the food machine and the would swarm. Even if you walked around with your hand closed they would come and try to eat food out of your empty hand. It was quite the experience.

After the zoo we rode a small train around the park and zoo. Teancum's first ride ever. He had a great time waving to all the cars, motercyclists, golfers, ect. and loved that they would wave back.

The rest of the day was taken up with the presentation, a short jaunt along the riverwalk, a very late and very short nap for Teancum, and going out to eat. We didn't even get to try out the pool at the hotel...oh well. At least we got lots of pictures to remember the trip with. Hope you enjoy them!
